110: Chapter 107: Collision (2nd Update) 110: Chapter 107: Collision (2nd Update) Chu Xisheng was unaware that just as five hundred arcs of silver light flew out from the Secret Realm and plummeted towards the valley’s exterior, atop another mountain three miles away stood a figure with a mink, gazing down upon the entrance of the Secret Realm from the treetops.
The person was about twenty years old and wore a white gauze dress, with a complexion so transcendently beautiful and poised that she seemed like a celestial being exiled to the mortal world.
The White Mink was about the size of a human arm, covered in fluffy white fur, with a pair of eyes that shone like red jade, making it look adorable and nimble.
“—The Divine Turtle Wanderer was a half-demon by nature, but he never acknowledged his demon clan bloodline, spending his life claiming to be of the Human Clan and regarding his demon blood as a disgrace.
He has slaughtered more than a hundred Upper Demons in his lifetime.
Even the East Sea Divine Turtle was forced to become his mount,”
the woman in the white dress said with a cold laugh, “However, at the end of his life, he took an interest in the demon blood within him.
Inside the Secret Realm he founded, he left a slim chance for our demon clan.
He indeed is a great enemy of our demon clan, but there’s no harm in us taking advantage of the benefits he left behind.
Consider it compensation for his massacre of so many of our forebears.”
Just at that moment, another beam of silver light shot out from within the Secret Realm and landed in the woman’s hand.
It was a silver-white Token.
The woman holding the token looked at the White Mink, “Little Zhao, the Divine Turtle Wanderer’s rule states that one must have Ninth Grade cultivation and be no older than eighteen.
For our demon clan, that means before entering the mating season.
You’re the only one from the Zhou Family who fits the age and has enough power to surpass those Human Clan’s Qingyun’s geniuses.
“But you can’t enter looking .
It would be best to transform into human form to avoid being targeted by the humans.
To shape-shift, you need Fifth Grade cultivation.
I’ve asked the Holy Mother for a Transformation Pill, which can help you advance several ranks and transform your bones to shape-shift ahead of time.
Do you see someone in that crowd at the valley entrance whose appearance you like?”
When they, the demon clan, shape-shift, they must have a reference.
Otherwise, they might transform into all sorts of bizarre appearances.
The White Mink let out a soft call as if to respond.
Then, its pupils shifted slightly as it looked at a young man amid the crowd.
— That was Chu Xisheng, dressed in a green robe and wearing a white ‘Gathering Spirit Cloak’, with a long sword strapped to his waist.
“Him?” The woman in the white dress shook her head; “His skin is indeed pleasing to the eye, but he is a male.
Bai Xiaozhao, you are a girl, it would be better to find a female to reference.”
But the White Mink shook its head vigorously, looking at Chu Xisheng and calling out again.
Its voice was much louder than before.
The woman in a white dress couldn’t help frowning deeply, as the White Mink stubbornly insisted on choosing that male.
But she understood; their demon clan admired strength, with females naturally gravitating towards powerful males.
According to the information she had, this boy should be the strongest among those Ninth Grade Martial Cultivators.
Not only was he powerful, but his features were also refined and handsome, tall and dignified, setting him apart from the crowd.
“Are you sure, Little Zhao?
Once you choose him, while your face may look nice, your body will be tricky to handle.
You are still young, you don’t understand—”
The woman in the white dress glanced at her own chest, ultimately revealing a helpless expression, “Fine, I can help you, but don’t expect too much, and don’t blame me later on.”
She then placed a green elixir pill into the White Mink’s mouth.
After swallowing the elixir, the White Mink soon furrowed its brows, its eyes showing a painful expression.
Its body began to twist and swell; its bones made a ‘crack crack’ noise, rapidly transforming.
The woman’s expression grew solemn as she watched intently, her hand resting on the mink’s forehead, ready to intervene at any moment.
Both their demon clan and the Human Clan share common ancestry, descendants of the ancient Innate giant gods.
Therefore, this ‘shape-shifting’ was also known as ‘Return to Ancestor.’
It wasn’t truly transforming into a human but rather retracing their bloodline to acquire a body closer to that of their forebears.
The Human Clan was uniquely blessed; even though they lost their ancestors’ power, their physical appearance was closest to that of the Innate Giant Gods.
And after about half a moment, the Little White Mink had transformed into the shape of a young girl.
Her features were almost identical to Chu Xisheng’s but contained a feminine softness.
She was tall, almost as tall as the woman in the white dress.
The girl’s eyebrows were still slightly furrowed as if acclimating to the pain and itchiness from the pulling of her bones.
She then turned her gaze toward the secret realm ahead.
By this time, the first glimmers of dawn were appearing in the sky, signifying that the Ninth Grade secret realm was officially open.
The girl’s Liu Mei eyebrows lifted slightly, and she darted out from the dense forest, transforming into a streak of white light that shot toward the direction of the secret realm.
Using her hands and feet, her movements were akin to a snow weasel moving swiftly among the trees.
The woman in the white dress was pulling out a set of white close-fitting clothes, “Little Zhao, your demonic power isn’t yet capable of conjuring clothes, so put these on—”
She then paused, staring at the receding figure of the girl and thought, at least put on some clothes before you go, what does it look like going around naked?
Just at that moment, the girl suddenly plummeted from the treetop, crashing into the grass on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The woman in the white dress couldn’t help but press her hand to her forehead.
This child didn’t even take time to adapt to the limbs of a human body before rushing off in haste.
As for her journey into the secret realm, it was uncertain whether she would be able to smoothly obtain the things left behind by the Divine Turtle Wanderer.
In front of the valley entrance, the Tower Master of the Debating Martial Arts Tower, dressed in a grandiose red official robe, extended his hand to draw forth with a wave of his expansive mana, levitating the tokens before him in suspension.
His eyes emitted a green spirit light as he surveyed the five hundred silver-white tokens.
After a brief moment, the Tower Master waved his sleeve again, sending those secret realm tokens flying, accurately landing in the hands of the Ninth Grade Martial Cultivators who had signed their names on the Life and Death Contract.
“Take note that these tokens are not only the keys to entering the secret realm, but they are also embedded with talismanic magic.
Should you encounter danger within the secret realm, or wish to retreat, you can immediately activate the runes.
The Divine Turtle Wanderer has arranged arrays inside the secret realm that can transport you out.
Therefore, you must take good care of these tokens and not lose them.”
Upon receiving his token, Chu Xisheng felt that its material was extraordinary.
He examined it closely in his hand.
“This is called Red Refining Silver, created from refining Demon Silver with some special materials, and it’s for Artifact Refining,”
Zhou Xiangshan, being well-versed and knowledgeable, exclaimed in admiration after a glance, “The Divine Turtle Wanderer really is as wealthy as a nation.
Such a large piece is worth at least five hundred taels of Demon Silver; it can be used directly as the main material for an Eighth Rank Magic Artifact.”
He then instructed the many Ninth Grades from the Zhou Family, with Zhou Liangchen in the lead, “Once inside, compete if you can, and if you feel outmatched, you can use this token to withdraw.
As long as you have given it your all, the family will not blame you.”
As for Chu Xisheng, he was ignored.
In Zhou Xiangshan’s view, the possibility of Chu Xisheng losing was exceedingly slim.
Chu Xisheng, however, felt a chill in his heart, as the attitude of this Outer Door Steward toward them was completely different.
Taking money from his Zhou Family after all meant working on their behalf—
Sometime later, streaks of dawn light shone down from the sky.
The crowd at the entrance of the valley was invigorated and entered into the secret realm in single file.
As they approached the secret realm, the silver tokens they carried emitted a white glow, and then the person would merge into it like a bubble popping.
Chu Xisheng still waited until nearly everyone had entered before he stepped toward the valley entrance.
To others, it seemed as though he considered the secret realm beneath his concern, displaying a calm and unrushed demeanor.
In reality, he dared not mingle with the crowd, giving no one an opportunity to take advantage of him.
But perhaps coincidentally, at the moment he stepped forward, Si Huangquan also began to move.
The two of them arrived at the valley entrance at the same time, and thus exchanged glances.
In that instant at the valley entrance of the secret realm, dust billowed, and stones and sand flew about.
